Their easygoing demeanor and trust in our artistic vision made it a joy to capture the beauty and emotion of their special day. The day seemed like it was filled with a relaxed and carefree vibe. As the day unfolded, it was clear that Akriti & Shruti had planned a wedding that prioritised fun and connection over usual tradition and formality.

This was a really special experience! While Akriti & Shruti wedding may look like any other, it carries a unique significance in India’s cultural landscape. In a country where LGBTQ wedding is not legally recognized, their union serves as progress in the continuing fight for LGBTQ+ rights and equality. Their love and commitment is a beacon of hope and inspiration for many who are still fighting for their rights.
